Altered Gene Expression Profile in Ovarian Follicle in Rats Treated with Indomethacin and RU486

ABSTRACT: It is well-known that indomethacin (the cyclooxygenase 1 & 2 inhibitor) and RU486 (or mifepristone, the progesterone receptor antagonist) block follicular rupture in rats. To characterize genetic alterations in unruptured follicles, gene expression profiles in ovarian follicle were analyzed in indomethacin- and RU486-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ovaries are collected at 22:00 on the proestrus day and 10:00 on the following estrus day after a single dose of indomethacin and RU486. Histopathologically, changes depicting responses to LH surge were observed in ovaries, uteri and vagina. Total RNA was extracted from pre-ovulatory follicles or unruptured follicles collected by laser microdissection and analyzed by GeneChip. Among genes showing statistically significant changes compared to control groups, following changes were considered relevant to induction of unruptured follicles. In indomethacin-treated rats, Wnt4 was down-regulated, suggesting effect on tissue integrity and steroid genesis. In RU486-treated rats, Adamts1, Adamts9, Edn2, Ednra, Lyve1, Plat, and Pparg were down-regulated. These changes suggest effects on proteolysis for extracellular matrix or surrounding tissue (Adamts1 & 9, and Plat), constriction of smooth muscle surrounding follicles (Edn2, Ednra, and Pparg), follicular fluid (Lyve1), and angiogenesis (Pparg). Down-regulation of angiogenesis related genes (Angpt2, Hmox1, and Vegfa) was observed in both treatment groups. Here, we clarify genetic alterations induced by the inhibition of cyclooxygenase or progesterone receptor.

The transitional Gene Expression Profiling of Ovarian Follicle Treated with Indomethacin and RU486 in Rats

Project description:Indomethacin (an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis) and RU486 (mifepristone, progesterone receptor antagonist) are well known compounds which impair follicle rupture in rats, nevertheless the histopahotlogical figures of these follicle were different in detail due to the difference of the pathway which each compound inhibits. To characterize these unruptured follicles further and to investigate the genes which were altered in each rat treated with indomethacin or mifepristone, gene expression profile in ovarian follicle were analyzed in female sprague-Dawley rats. Peri- or post ovulatory follicles were collected by laser microdissection and extracted RNA was analyzed by genechip after single dosage of mifepristone or indomethacin. Animals were singly administered orally Indomethacin (IM) at 4mg/kg at 16:00 or RU486 (RU) at 100 mg/kg at 10:00 on the proestrus day, and sacrificed by exsanguination under anesthesia at 22:00 on the proestrus day (PeF: peri-ovulatory follicle), and 10:00 on the estrus day (PoF: post-ovulatory follicle). Ovaries were also collected from untreated rats at 22:00 on the proestrus day, and 10:00 on the estrus day as control groups. Three animals were contained per each treatment group at each timing. The ovaries were removed and embedded in OCT (Tissue-Tek, Sakura Finetek, Torrance, CA), frozen in dry-ice-cold isopentan, and stored at -70 C until used. Frozen sections (8 micro meter thick) were mounted on the membrane slides (MMI, Glatteburg, Zurich, Switzerland), and stained with HistogeneTM LCM frozen section staining kit (Arcturus Engineering, Mountain View, CA). Then, 15 follicles in each phase were retrieved by Laser Micro Dissection system (LMD, CellCut Plus, MMI). The collected follicle sections were lysed by the buffer RLT in the collection tube supplied in RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), and total RNA was extracted according to manufacturer's instructions.

Endothelin2 signaling in the neural retina promotes the endothelial tip cell state and inhibits angiogenesis

Project description:Endothelin signaling is required for neural crest migration and homeostatic regulation of blood pressure. Here we report that constitutive over-expression of Endothelin-2 (Edn2) in the mouse retina perturbs vascular development by inhibiting endothelial cell (EC) migration across the retinal surface and subsequent EC invasion into the retina. Developing endothelial cells exist in one of two states: tip cells at the growing front, and stalk cells in the vascular plexus behind the front. This division of endothelial cell states is one of the central organizing principle of angiogenesis. In the developing retina, Edn2 over-expression leads to over-production of endothelial tip cells by both morphologic and molecular criteria. Spatially localized over-expression of Edn2 produces a correspondingly localized endothelial response. Edn2 over-expression in the early embryo inhibits vascular development at mid-gestation, but Edn2 over-expression in developing skin and brain has no discernable effect on vascular structure. Inhibition of retinal angiogenesis by Edn2 requires expression of Endothelin receptor A (Ednra) but not Ednrb in the neural retina. Taken together, these observations imply that the neural retina responds to Edn2 by synthesizing one or more factors that promote the endothelial tip cell state and inhibit angiogenesis. The response to Edn2 is sufficiently potent that it over-rides the activities of other homeostatic regulators of angiogenesis, such as vascular endothelial growth factor.

Expression values from wild-type retinas and retinas with a mutant Rhodopsin transgene (Tg(RHO P347S)) with and without Endothelin-2 (EDN2)

Project description:Expression of the Endothelin-2 (Edn2) mRNA is greatly increased in the photoreceptors (PRs) of mouse models of inherited PR degeneration. To identify retinasl gene whose expression is directly or indirectly regulated by EDN2 in the presence of the Tg(RHO P347S) mutant allele, we defined mRNAs that were differentially expressed in Edn2+/+, Edn2-/-, Tg(RHO P347S) Edn2+/+, and Tg(RHO P347S) Edn2-/- retinas.

Endothelial Cells Express a Unique Transcriptional Profile under Very High Wall Shear Stress Known to Induce Expansive Arterial Remodeling

Project description:Chronic high flow can induce arterial remodeling, and this effect is mediated by endothelial cells (ECs) responding to wall shear stress (WSS). To assess how WSS above physiological normal levels affects ECs, we used DNA microarrays to profile EC gene expression under various flow conditions. Cultured bovine aortic ECs were exposed to no flow (0 Pa), normal WSS (2 Pa) and very high WSS (10 Pa) for 24 hrs. Very high WSS induced a distinct expression profile when compared to both no flow and normal WSS. Gene ontology and biological pathway analysis revealed that high WSS modulated gene expression in ways that promote an anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory, proliferative and pro-matrix remodeling phenotype. A subset of characteristic genes was validated using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR): Very high WSS upregulated ADAMTS1, PLAU (uPA), PLAT (tPA) and TIMP3, all of which are involved in extracellular matrix processing, with PLAT and PLAU also contributing to fibrinolysis. Downregulated genes included chemokines CXCL5 and IL-8 and the adhesive glycoprotein THBS1 (TSP1). Expressions of ADAMTS1 and uPA proteins were assessed by immunhistochemistry in rabbit basilar arteries experiencing increased flow after bilaterial carotid artery ligation. Both proteins were significantly increased when WSS was elevated compared to sham control animals. Our results indicate that very high WSS elicits a unique transcriptional profile in ECs that favors particular cell functions and pathways that are important in vessel homeostasis under increased flow. In addition, we identify specific molecular targets that are likely to contribute to adaptive remodeling under elevated flow conditions.

RNAseq analysis of two independent stains of C57BL/6J-Plat-/- mice and wild-type C57BL/6J.

Project description:The ability to generate defined null mutations in mice revolutionized the analysis of gene function in mammals. However, gene-deficient mice generated by using 129-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells may carry large segments of 129 DNA, even when extensively backcrossed to reference strains, such as C57BL/6J, and this may confound interpretation of experiments performed in these mice. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), encoded by the PLAT gene, is a fibrinolytic serine protease that is widely expressed in the brain. A large number of neurological abnormalities have been reported in tPA-deficient mice. The studies here compare genes differentially expressed in the brains of Plat-/- mice from two independent Plat-/- mouse derivations to wild-type C57BL/6J mice. One strain denoted “Old” was constructed in ES cells from a 129 mouse and backcrossed extensively to C57BL/6J, and one denoted “New” Plat-/- mouse was constructed using zinc finger nucleases directly in the C57BL/6J-Plat-/- mouse strain. We identify a significant set of genes that are differentially expressed in the brains of Old Plat-/- mice that preferentially cluster in the vicinity of Plat on chromosome 8, apparently linked to more than 20 Mbp of DNA flanking Plat being of 129 origin. No such clustering is seen in the New Plat-/- mice.
